Longhorn82 Posted November 26, 2014 #54 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Our 2 Navigator blocks went into our Goodwill Box when we moved. (Still on the box) Love to cruise, but don't really care about the blocks. Sent from my iPad using Cruise Critic Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar27 Posted November 26, 2014 #55 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I've got the same issue coming up. I'm due for a block on the second cruise of a B2B. I'm not expecting anything again. I just got off of the Liberty and hit my block on the last day of my B2B. I told them at the start of my cruise. Reminded them again at the start of the B2B. Was standing at their desk on the last day asking where it was. I finally got it around 5p.m. on the last day.:rolleyes::p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rharvey999 Posted November 27, 2014 #60 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I must admit the whole block issue is one of the most confusing to everyone involved with RCI. Depending on which ship, which LA and where the moon is on the horizen the answers from the RCI folks seems to change. We have heard so many answers and excuses from the crew while on board we often just sigh and continue to enjoy the voyage. Royal does a great job with their promotions....on land. For some reason we have found that the communication breaks down somewhere between Miami and the fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfcathorse Posted January 9, 2015 #66 Share Posted January 9, 2015 If you are flying with your block in carry-on luggage, be prepared to have it manually examined. they will even open and search if it's in your checked luggage. I had mine in my checked bag after the Quantum inaugural and TSA managed to damage the Quantum book and the ship model key chain while digging down for the block. The book looks like they dropped the block on the back because there's a long gouge on it. The ship had it's bow chipped off from being dropped or having something dropped on it. Since everything was safely cushioned by all the dirty laundry, I'm assuming they dropped the block once they found it and it hit the book and the ship key chain.

Maybe it is best to take it in carry on luggage and at security remove it from luggage as one does for laptops and liquids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea why they flag those for inspection? I thought maybe because it appears to be liquid on the X-ray.

I could do a lot more damage hitting you in the head with that crystal block, than I ever could with a 1 inch blade miniature Swiss army keyring knife that TSA used to confiscate.

I'm probably lucky it wasn't confiscated by TSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that the block is crystal, so has lead in it. They cannot see through it, so it's suspicious to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I think it is an odd density on Xray, so they inspect it to make sure it is not a dangerous item. Maybe it has a similar XRay density as some explosive. Or maybe they think Thom's 1 inch knife is hidden behind that crystal;). We bought a smaller etched crystal block as a souvenir in Japan. The clerks so carefully wrapped the item almost like an art in itself. At the airport, security was concerned about that block too. So that pretty wrapping was hastily removed so they could see it was not a dangerous item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
